The most chocolatey time of the year is here! While Valentine’s Day is targeted mostly toward romantic relationships, we moms know it’s for all kinds of sweethearts. Once you have kids, it’s hard not to give them a little something on February 14th to show you love them. In return, kids always give their moms a treat, too—usually with help from a teacher or other parent.

Here are some of the goodies every mom can expect to get over the years, from DIY Valentine’s Day gifts to purchases requiring the influence and assistance of someone with access to a credit card and set of wheels. Enjoy your treats, my sweets!

1. A variety of “#1 Mom” mugs.

2. A vacuum or other thing to clean with “from the baby” (as a joke).

3. An exorbitant gift card for a spa day “from the toddler” (to make up for last year’s joke gift).

4. A macaroni necklace that MUST be worn all day long, no matter what.
